Police have issued another appeal for missing Auckland teen Alexander after a recent sighting placing him in Henderson.

They said there was a possible sighting of him on Monday at 9am on Forrest Hill Road, near the intersection with Pine Avenue.

Alexander was seen wearing dark shorts, brown tramping boots and carrying a dark-coloured tramping pack.

Although the teen is competent in the outdoors, police are concerned given his age and the weather.

The 15-year-old from Oratia was reported missing about 8.30pm on Monday, after he failed to return home from school.

Police asked for anyone who sees Alexander to call 111.
